Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9910945A1] A process of generating electricity from natural gas (1) comprises supplying air (37) to the cathode side (20) of a solid oxide fuel cell (10); converting at the anode side (15) of the fuel cell the natural gas to hydrogen and carbon monoxide and allowing the cathode and anode reactions to take place to produce a potential difference betweem anode and cathode wherein an anode off-gas is produced which comprises water and carbon dioxide and feeding the anode off-gas from the anode side (15) to a ceramic afterburner (75) in which any unburned carbon monoxide and hydrogen are combusted without addition of nitrogen to the anode off-gas.
